Wang Baobao, who was below the stage, clearly had the same thoughts. He shouted, "Xu Liewu, you're already a cripple. Why are you still trying to act tough? Hurry up and surrender."
Over the past few years, Xu Liewu had been invincible in the Western Expedition, and his prestige in the army was like the sun at high noon. If he took the initiative to surrender without a fight, the blow to his prestige would be devastating.
"Are you so sure that I will lose?" Xu Liewu sneered.
Wang Baobao snorted, "This Bai … young master's martial arts, even if you were at your peak, you might not be able to defeat him. Now you can't even stand up, how are you going to fight him?"
Xu Liewu said indifferently, "There are ways to fight while standing, and there are ways to fight while sitting. There is no need for you to worry."
On the arena, Dan Yuru couldn't help but chuckle. "Your Highness, your calm demeanor is admirable. If it were any other time, I might be willing to sit and fight with you. But today is about marrying the princess, so I won't be merciful."
"Do as you wish," Xu Lie Wu said calmly.
Seeing how calm he was, Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little strange. Was Xu Liewu pretending to be calm or did he really have a backup plan?
"If that's the case, then I'll have to offend you." Dan Yuru was also a little afraid of his reaction. She used a feint at the beginning, but the other party didn't move at all. As a result, she had to jump around like a monkey.
Dan Yuru was annoyed and thought that she was being too cautious. 'Even if Xu Liewu is not injured, his martial arts are about the same as mine. If we fight to the death, with the help of Yin Weed Faction's demonic art, I will most likely be the one who wins. Right now, his legs are broken and he's sitting in a wheelchair. What threat does he pose to me?
After thinking through all of this, she let out a delicate shout and directly rushed down the middle. This time, not only did she want to win, she wanted to win beautifully and make Xu Liewu lose all his face. One had to know that Brother Ali Buge, Xu Liewu, and Khubilai were never on good terms. If she could make Xu Liewu lose face in front of all the heroes of the world, Brother Ali Buge would definitely be extremely happy, and the status of the Heaven's Will Sect would also rise.
Suddenly, she saw Xu Liewu take out a black tube from his bosom. She was stunned. "A hidden weapon?" As the leader of the Destiny Sect, she didn't care about most of the hidden weapons in the Jianghu. However, for some reason, the black tube in front of her gave her a strong sense of danger.
She twisted her waist and hurriedly dodged to the side. At this time, the pipe in Xu Liewu's hand flashed, and everyone heard a loud bang. Then, Dan Yuru screamed and fell heavily to the ground, half of her clothes dyed red with blood.
"What kind of hidden weapon is this?" Everyone in the field was shocked. How could it be so powerful? Even the Tang Sect's Torrential Pear Blossom Needles were only this powerful, right?
"Flintlock!" Song Qingshu's pupils shrank. The others might not recognize it, but how could he not recognize it? In fact, there were also flintlocks in the Qing Dynasty, and Wei Xiaobao had one in his hands back then. However, the flintlocks of this era were slow to reload, had a short range, and had low accuracy. Their advantages on the battlefield were not significantly better than bows and arrows, so they were not widely used. Most of the time, they were just playthings for a few top notch officials.
Xu Liewu had conquered many countries in the Western Region, so it was normal for him to have flintlocks in his hands. Normally, they were not very useful, but when he suddenly took them out to deal with an unprepared master, the effect was really good. No wonder he was so confident even though his leg was broken.
Of course, it was not difficult for the top masters of this era to avoid flintlocks as long as they were prepared in advance. After all, the flintlocks of this era could not be fired continuously.
Wang Baobao stood up angrily. "Xu Liewu, how dare you use hidden weapons?"
Xu Liewu blew the smoke from the barrel and sneered. "Did anyone say that hidden weapons are not allowed in this competition? A few days ago, the hidden weapons master of the Seven Green Sect was praised by everyone. " He was originally a powerful martial artist with many masters under his command, so he did not care about flintlocks. However, he was scared by the mysterious man that night, so he had no choice but to find the trophies he had obtained from the west to defend himself.
Wang Baobao's face turned green and then red. He knew that he was not in the right, so he could only snort and sit down angrily. Zilong Literature
Dan Yuru struggled to get up. A large area on the right side of her body was already dyed red with blood. At this moment, her face was extremely pale. "Your Highness, I will definitely remember what you have done for me today." After saying this, she did not wait for the referee on the arena to announce the winner and directly disappeared into the distance with a leap.
Song Qingshu saw clearly that it was fortunate that Dan Yuru had dodged at the crucial moment, otherwise she would have died on the spot. However, she had suffered such a serious injury, so the situation was not optimistic.
On the arena, Xu Liewu looked at Dan Yuru's disappearing figure with a cold expression. He gave a look to his subordinate below the arena, who nodded and quietly left the arena.
Xue Pan could not help but sigh. "If I had known earlier, I would have gotten a flintlock as well. I might have been able to kill that Dong Ying devil with one shot yesterday."
Xue Baochai, who was at the side, dispelled his thoughts. "The loading of a flintlock is complicated, and the shooting range is short. It is almost useless against an expert. The reason why Xu Liewu was able to hit that person was because the other party did not expect such an unforeseen event. Secondly, Xu Liewu was an expert himself. Although his leg was injured, his movements were still fast enough. Even so, that Bai Yuhuan managed to avoid being hit in the vital parts in a flash. If it were you, you would definitely not be able to hurt her."
Only then did Xue Pan resentfully dispel his thoughts.
Lu Shisheng, who was at the side, said, "I had a faint sense of danger yesterday. I had a premonition that if I really fought with him, I would most likely be in trouble. Today, it seems that I was right."
The people around him all agreed, praising him for his unique foresight. Seeing that he had successfully cleared his name, Xue Pan was even more displeased.
The second match was between Galdan and Miyamoto Musashi, the Dong Ying swordsman. Galdan's kung fu in this world was much stronger than that in The Deer and the Cauldron, but he was not a top master. There was no suspense in the battle between him and Miyamoto Musashi, and he was soon defeated.
Galdan did not care. He was good at strategizing and deciding the outcome of a battle from a thousand miles away. He was not good at charging and breaking through enemy lines. He had achieved his purpose of coming to Xixia this time, so it was not a big deal to lose to a Dong Ying master.
Compared to the disappointment of the others on the drill ground, which was because they saw that the masters from the Central Plains were no match for Dong Ying, Sasaki Kojiro's disappointment was purely on martial arts. He did not expect that Galdan's kung fu was not enough to make Miyamoto Musashi pull out his second blade.
Other people did not know about it, but Sasaki, who was also a famous Dong Ying swordsman, knew very well that Miyamoto Musashi's trump card was the Niten Ichi-ryū, which was a double blade technique. One of the two blades was Yin and the other was Yang, which doubled the power when combined. He had never seen Miyamoto Musashi use the real "Niten Ichi-ryū", just like Miyamoto Musashi had never seen his "Swallow Return".
While Sasaki was feeling regretful, the referee had announced the third match. Prince Zong Zan of Tubo was fighting against Duan Yu, the Crown Prince of Dali.
Zong Zan swaggered to the ring, but Duan Yu, the Crown Prince of Dali, did not show up. Zhu Danchen of Dali had to come out and say, "Our Crown Prince was kidnapped by a villain. I'm afraid he can't come today."
Zong Zan was unhappy. "Your Crown Prince is missing. Why are you staring at me? Who knows, maybe he's sleeping around somewhere. "
Zhu Danchen said coldly, "May I ask where your national master Jiu Mozhi is now?"
Zong Zan replied, "The national master is practicing in seclusion, so he won't come today."
At this time, Princess Jincheng said softly, "Guard Zhu, please rest assured that your Crown Prince will come back safely." After all, she was now the princess of Tubo, so she could only say so much.
Zhu Danchen thought of what Mu Wanqing had said before, and at this time, he could only believe her.
